Club Brugge are showing an interest in Rangers left-back Tuur Rommens, according to a report.

The Belgian is currently injured, with manager Derek McInnes revealing he could be out for up to eight weeks, which would be the worst case scenario.

That doesn't seem to have deterred Brugge, who thumped the Ibrox side in Champions League qualifying last year.

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, they are interested in taking him back to his homeland and have contacted Rangers with an enquiry. Any deal could hinge on the future of Brugge left-back Joaquin Seys.



He said: "Club Brugge is pursuing Tuur Rommens!

"Blauw-Zwart contacted Rangers FC to inquire about the player's profile and the potential terms of a deal. No offer has been made yet, but there is genuine interest.

"This move could be linked to the potential departure of Joaquin Seys. One to watch."

Rangers are on the brink of adding James Penrice to their left-back ranks, on a loan deal from AEK Athens with an option to make it permanent.

Any departure of Rommens would leave them light in that area again, and likely needing to recruit again.
